I'm making a drawing about allies in WWII using anti-aircraft guns, and I need to know what to look up. So far all I know is like the quad .50 cal, and 20mm cannon. Can you give me a list of some of them?

You can't please all the people all of the time. Yet, that is exactly what they are trying to do. Haven't they lost their direction in so doing?

im curious.. i read about this in an article a few weeks back so the details might be fuzzy. a guy and a girl have sex.. they still talk. through emails on the phone etc. she tells him she loves him he says the same. they only had sex once or twice something like that. this went on for 3 months.. she apparently was pregnant, and she told the guy originally it wasnt his it was her estranged husbands.. the guy had suspicions but let it be.. as the weeks went on she started hinting it was his.. he said ok he will find out after its born and go from there.. she flips out claims he used her and then tried to accuse him of rape 3 months later and use the baby as proof? is this possible.. if i remember correctly there were email after email about how much she enjoyed having sex with him, also numerous text messages about how much she loved him? can she just make that stuff up? i just signed up here and thought it was an interesting topic cuz false rape seems to be a problem?

i work at a refinery as a security inspector and some one i work with who drives a patrol van just walked off site one day,the procedure is you are supposed to inform someone,failure to do so is classed as gross misconduct.the company in question states this in the rule book.
i have been employed for 5 years at the refinery and 2 years ago we were taken over by anothor security company 47 people from my old company either got sacked for stupid things or found different jobs.
the company that im employed by now has a arrogant manager who wants to bring in his own people and get rid of the old staff,
he is a bully but if you complain he makes your life a misery,
if it states in a rule book that not following procedure is gross misconduct and a sackable offence and this person is still working there can this be right,i beleive the manager of the new company is bringing his own staff in ,and getting rid of the old staff,is he following procedure

I have been told to get a restraining order against my sister. She's 18 and lives at home with my mom and I. I am under 18. Everyday I am told by her that I am retarded (that I need special help which I don't need nor have I ever needed it or used any special services). That she could care less about me. That I'm a loser and that I am not going to be doing anything w/ my life after school. And some other stuff that's not appropriate for this...She's been arrested for domestic assult towards me. She can't hit me for a year otherwise she'll get thrown out. Problem is, my mom has to report this and she doesn't. I am not hit much by my sister anymore but I still get hit occasionally for not getting offline at exactly the same moment she wants on. Problem is, she's not nicer to our mom or any other family. My mom has high BP, and is always crying b/c of the abuse. I am wondering how best to go about this. I want a restraining order b/c I'm sick of how my mom and I are treated. Does it cost

I see mixing chemicals is a drug but rolling this herb into a cigarette and smoking it does not seem to be a problem. Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes are more harmful to the body than smoking a joint.

that your grand childrens "grand chidren" have to pay off.

God knows if they will ever be able to pay it off...or if the debt will be 500 trilion by the time it reaches them..

Most european countries have democratic socialism and no debt at all.


So how come capitalism considered so successful,..when you are looking at such debt?

At what point does it become a total failure?

I hear many cons say "well if we dont fight them there, than thell fight us here" which seems very true. But i do not think that is what Bush wants. He wants THEM to attacks us THERE. All it is, is one big diversion from us here in the mainland. BRILLIANT. Of course we are creating terrorist, but who cares, they are all the way over ther no need to worry.

(please get this is sarcastic.)

They’re relegated to the South Dakota Bad Lands where nothing BUT Hemp will grow, but the government won’t even let them grow it. AND before you suggest it, no reasonable Marijuana grower would want their plants ANYWHERE near an industrial hemp crop. Just like a Fuji Apple orchard wouldn’t want Granny Smith Apple trees anywhere near their trees. They Hemp would hybrid their weed and make it useless.

Come on people, they just want to live their lives on their land and stay out of our business so we can stay out of their business. Don’t we owe to them to let them grow hemp? It’s the ONLY thing that will grow, and it would be a cash crop for them. It’s great for industrial fibers and oils.

What do you say?
